So I’m currently on a culinary mission to eat my way around San Sebastián this week. If you’ve never been, it’s a resort town in the Bay of Biscay in Spain’s Basque country. I’ve not only been told by people that it’s the most authentic Spanish area they’ve ever visited, but the food is out of this world. In fact, Michelin stars are just the norm here.

Because we’ve got Monkey with us, we won’t be gracing these top-notch restaurants but not matter, because the Pintxos bars are just as good. And we’re also exploring our surroundings – we’re close to the beach!

I look forward to sharing with you all what we get up to. And please excuse the lack of posts on MTM as I’ve decided to have a much-needed break. Meanwhile, I will look forward to catching up with all your Monday Escapes stories on my return.

Here are some of our favourite posts and photos from the last edition of Monday Escapes. If you haven’t already, please do go and check them out.

What is Monday Escapes?

Monday Escapes is all about looking back a wonderful, happy travel memories and sharing them with others. It doesn’t have to be abroad or even a written post. If you want to share your favourite snapshots – whether it’s a famous sight, scene, dramatic view or even a favourite family photo, then please feel free to link those up, too. Likewise, posts don’t have to be about holidays or weekends away, they can also include day trips, walks, attractions – any travel experience that you want to share.
